Le Monde extérieur

The vibrant yet often harsh environment adds depth to the characters' struggles. I'm curious whether the city itself was a character in the author's mind from the start or evolved during writing.

The narrative seemed to take a breath before building back up, which made me wonder if it was a stylistic choice to reflect the characters' internal journeys.

The characters' resilience felt genuine, but I wonder if the author intended this as a commentary on broader social realities or personal inner strength.
